Something I'll never forget was when I was growing up in St. Petersburg in the 60's one afternoon I was looking out at Tampa Bay and counted 7 funnel clouds at one time.

A few years later in the 70's when I was working in the control tower at St. Petersburg/Clearwater Airport I watched a funnel cloud completely circle the airport where the land meets the bay. Didn't do any damage but was a scary few moments.
